beginning in the mid-19th century[1] inspired by the 11th- and
12th-century Romanesque architecture. Unlike the historic Romanesque
style, however, Romanesque Revival buildings tended to feature more
simplified arches and windows than their historic counterparts.

influential American architect working in a free "Romanesque" manner
was Henry Hobson Richardson
